Chatsworth, CA, USA - April 5, 2011

SANYO North America Corporation (SANYO), the world’s largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, introduces the KBC-L2 rechargeable battery pack “eneloop mobile booster,” which provides instant back-up power for mobile phones, smart phones, portable music devices and other USB powered devices.

The KBC-L2 joins the ‘eneloop universe’, a group of products based on recycling or ‘looping’ energy.

The eneloop mobile booster is available immediately at an MSRP of $79.99.

“We’ve all become accustomed to carrying some sort of mobile device with us whether it’s a tablet, smart phone, or a music device. Now we can use them more confidently knowing we have portable, convenient power for those devices,” said Tom Van Voy, General Manager of the Digital Solutions Division for SANYO North America.
“The SANYO mobile booster is easy to use and it’s portable enough to take with you anywhere.”

With two USB outputs, the KBC-L2 allows two USB devices to be powered at the same time.

The SANYO mobile booster not only charges USB devices, it acts as auxiliary power if the battery in the device has completely drained.

On a full charge, the L2 provides 5000mAh of power.

The KBC-L2 is based on SANYO’s Lithium-ion battery technology. It can be charged using either the bundled AC power adapter or the USB power cable by connecting it to a PC.

A mini-USB to micro-USB adapter is also included to ensure compatibility with a wide range of portable devices.

The mobile booster can be completely charged in 7 hours from AC power and 14 hours from USB power.

The eneloop mobile booster is designed to be compatible with current configurations of numerous products, including the iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPhone, iPod Touch (1st‐4th gen), iPod Classic, iPod nano (1st‐6th gen), iPod mini (1st and 2nd gen), iPod (4th and 5th gen), RIM Blackberry Bold, and RIM Blackberry Curve.

The L2 provides 5V 500mA output power for charging two devices or 1000mA output power for charging one device.

The KBC‐L2 will even provide a partial recharge for an iPad or other compatible eReader.

SANYO Pedal Juice Black Edition. Pedal Juice was developed to meet the needs of both professional and entry-level musicians, delivering up to 50 hours of continuous power for a single analog pedal or up to 20 hours of continuous power to three digital pedals. Because the eneloop 9V rechargeable lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for AC power, the output voltage is more stable for longer periods of time without the possibility of AC ground looping noise.

SANYO North America Corporation President Masami Murata

A Message from President Murata

My name is Sam (Masami) Murata, president of SANYO North America Corporation (SNA).
As president of SNA, it is my mission and vision to make SANYO North America Group a global company that is known throughout North America as the leading provider of unique and total sustainable solutions for all lifestyles and industries.

President Masami Murata Courtesy of SANYO

SANYO currently offers world-leading technology in solar cells, has a world-leading market share of rechargeable batteries, as well as a long history of manufacturing energy-efficient electrical systems and equipment.
But what makes SANYO particularly unique from our competition is the ability to deliver highly innovative, multi-dimensional and integrated energy- and environmental-related solutions, designed to meet the needs of all consumers and businesses.

Through the utilization of our strong sales channels, combined with our superior product offerings, I am confident that SANYO will achieve its mission of becoming the leading provider of energy- and environmental-related solutions throughout North America.

Most recently, SANYO has achieved some notable accomplishments in the advancement of environmental and renewable energy solutions for the North American market.

In 2009, our company further expanded its solar production capabilities in the U.S. with the opening of a state-of-the-art solar ingots and wafers manufacturing plant in Salem, Oregon.

Also, just recently in June 2010, we were proud to have executed an important agreement with the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) to advance and collaborate on multi-year, multi-disciplinary projects in the areas of renewable energy and energy storage research, development and education.

Through this collaboration with UC San Diego, we will establish a Smart Energy System for use as an open platform on UC San Diego's campus, serving as an example of local power generation for local consumption (solar panels generate energy, which can be stored in local rechargeable batteries, and then used in local energy-efficient appliances).

Longer term, it is our goal to lead the renewable energy revolution through this partnership with UC San Diego, which is well known for its sustainable research and use of solar technologies.

In addition, SANYO launched mass production of high-capacity & high-voltage lithium ion battery in March 2010, and has conducted some demonstration projects in Japan.

Finally, by combining SANYO's strengths with the extensive capabilities and resources of Panasonic, which recently acquired our company in December 2009, I am confident that we will build a stronger organization that continuously meets the needs of today's businesses and consumers, while helping to ensure a sustainable future for everyone across the globe.
